We on the Office team are excited to be releasing Microsoft®
Office 2010. We believe we’ve raised the bar again and delivered
the best productivity experience across the PC, phone and
browser. It is the result of constant, in-depth research and
analysis of feedback and data that we receive from our half-
billion customers like you around the world. With each version
we have two primary objectives: 1) Build on the essentials you
use today and 2) create tools that anticipate your changing
needs. In that spirit, Office 2010 makes common tasks easier and
faster, while bringing new tools that we believe will become the
essentials of your work tomorrow.
Even the best ideas can get lost in the growing sea of
information. So, Office 2010 is designed to help you make your
ideas stand out. Whether your ideas are intended to inspire one
person or transform an international organization, Office 2010 is
designed to help those ideas flow and flourish. Use enhanced
picture and video tools to create a compelling presentation to
ace a class or close a deal. Make sense of volumes of information
using new and enhanced tools to visually display key trends in
your data, even within a single cell. But it’s not just about more
and better; it’s about faster and easier. With the enhanced
Ribbon and new ways to navigate through your work, your ideas
can keep flowing from start to finish.

The best ideas often result from several minds working together.
Office 2010 offers new and enhanced ways for you to work on
ideas with more people and with less hassle. With co-authoring,
edit the same document at the same time with others. No more
multiple versions or waiting your turn. And with Microsoft Office
Communicator integrated throughout several Office 2010
applications, you can view the presence of your team members
and communicate with them in the context of the work at hand
and the flow of your ideas.
Sometimes your best ideas come to you when you’re away from
your computer. Office 2010 is designed to give you the flexibility
to work when, where, and how you want. With Microsoft Office
Web Apps, Microsoft Office Mobile 2010, and expanded offline
capabilities, you can work confidently and seamlessly across
different devices.
